UNSUNG HERO

The performance by Flames goalie Miikka Kiprusoff, especially in the first period while his team was shorthanded for nearly six minutes, was top notch -- as good as you'll see.

WHY FLAMES WON

Somehow, they weathered the storm through nearly six minutes of shorthanded time in the first period. Somehow, they came back after being down 4-1. Somehow, they regrouped when they lost the lead in the final minute.

SAVE OF THE GAME

Late in overtime, Miikka Kiprusoff flashed his glove to make a highlight reel stop against Detroit's Jonathan Ericsson and send the game to a shootout.

The record number 28 shots allowed by the Flames in the first period broke the old mark of 24 set Jan. 5, 1994, against the New York Rangers. Calgary beat the Rangers 4-1 that night ... G Miikka Kiprusoff stood tall to reach the 40-win mark for the third time in the past four seasons.
